@Cow I don't get it man... usually you're the most die hard "don't surrender till there's 0 chance to win" type of guy I know so it was hard to believe my eyes the other day: My friend Cow, playing the best jungler in the game and surrendering at 20. 2 kills, 2 assists, 0 deaths. How are you going to let your team surrender like that without even having one teamfight?
Super Carry Kog? Thpppth! Uber Hyper Carry Kog O' Doom! Hope your and Hedgie's backs don't get too sore from carrying my sorry ass up the elo ranks. Re: In House Games I think we should be a little more patient with getting people's TS3 setup so they can at least hear us instead of rushing into games. I mean one of the major positives of getting these games together is having voice communication with your team right? So why are we
I literally queued 6 times in a row without everyone joining the game, then had a dodge in the game everyone finally started drafting in, then 4 more times without everyone pressing the I'm Not AFK button... Kinda going to be a pain if its the new thing to just grief people into having long wait times for games by queuing up and not joining. It seems a lot of effort to waste peoples time, but after spending some time on a public vent server I will no longer be surprised by t
Just a thought on the game nights: I'd be personally more likely to be available for them if I knew it wasn't going to be all ARAM all the time. If there's more people who feel like I do, I think that in house 5v5s might be easier to achieve than we think? I mean say we get 8 people, 5 could end up playing random people while the other 3 queue up and take 2 random teammates. Playing with 2 other people you know on vent is better than just playing by yoursel
Some great insight there, thanks! I'm working on my Sona right now because we think she'd be a good early game pairing with Varus now and because of her ult is perhaps a nice late game compliment to Kog when we get to a point where we feel more confident in our teammates. If we get to a point I mean. Solo Queue... maybe only Alistar is the only one I can play who can help keep Kog safe because I really suck with Janna for some reason.
@Shiro (Vlad? Jack?) Yeah, I switched my name with my smurf account because the ü in Thündercles was kind of a pain and I started liking Dynamo Sexy better. But mostly I switched because I found out that thundercles is the German word for testicles and was disturbed. Re: Ranked - Congratulations to Vlad and Pacov, you guys are moving up quick! Us not so much, but hopefully things will go a little better now that we're playing better early game combinati
[quote who="AragornV" reply="1334" id="3197468"]Just another note, I get frustrated at times too, but it's completely unacceptable to grief people on your team in our inhouse games. Constructive advice is fine, but say your piece and move on. If you go beyond that, it's harassment and I don't want to play with you. The more I play this game, the more I realize that attitude is everything. So if you aren't going to be a positive member of the team, then don't play on the te
Yeah, your guys issue of dividing teams on in house 5v5's pretty much boils down to the old saying "It takes two thieves to strike an honest bargain" Take two of the better (the two best if ego's allow this to be decided) players in the group and make them captains. Have one of them divide the remaining 8 players into two teams. The other captain gets to pick which of the teams he wants. Two theoretically even teams without having to have somebody having sc
I know Twitch is supposedly underpowered at the moment, but I just supported one that went 16/4 in a Soraka lane so I don't know. Xin scares me, seemed pretty bad ass as a completely not fed jungler in that game. Eve... if you're going to be on later lets test her out. -can you detect her when you're in a nearby bush? If not, would oracles allow you to? -does she know when she's being detected by a pink ward? Regular ones don't
[quote who="Krazikarl" reply="1251" id="3193899"]I probably would have played that out in ranked, but we weren't going to win that. But a big part of the reason why I agreed to surrender is that I didn't want to hear Peter complain about random stuff like how Udyr built Treads and WE for the next 15 minutes while we slowly lost a series of teamfights.[/quote] Yeah... learned the hardway when playing with my beginner friends that it doesn't matter how much you ge
I'm very excited about these changes! They're even fixing Xerath. Don't know if anyone knows the story cause he's not the most popular mid but here's a timeline: -Stealth nerfed in the Draven patch in an effort to make the damage and his animation from his ultimate match up. End result was a huge delay in both the damage once the animation started, the casting time, and the total combo time of Xerath's burst. Essentially made him compl
Sorry man, didn't mean that to come across like it did. It was half teasing, half kinda trying to figure out why you took me off your friend's list thats all. Thought I said "snob" not "bigot" bye the way. When you responded sounding upset just assumed I was interrupting a game or something so I left you alone. Sorry bout the misunderstanding.
@Aragorn Yeah, using vent to gripe at teammates for errors you feel they made that may or may not have actually been a mistake is counterproductive no matter what. I'm EXTREMELY distracted by that sorta thing. Either its: 1. I messed up and I know I messed up... and really don't need to be told I messed up. 2. Something bad happened because two or more players weren't on the same page cause they had a difference of opinion regarding strategy or per
@Pacov I took Pete off my friends list I'm afraid, which sucks because I like the guy and when other ex-demigodders frustration with me was palpable when I was learning the ropes, Pete was patient and encouraging and was super helpful. But I just can't take the constant flow of verbal negativity anymore, I really can't... Anyway, sorry bout my bad Lulu game the other day. Had an old HS friend in town and we had gone on a bit of a hardcore drinking bender the night before,
Mind looking up mine? I've been playing with me newer buddies off my smurf account and am worried... we've officially stopped being matched against people who know what "jungling" is.
@Aragorn: Yeah, you just get so much more from the points you put into Q I think... especially when you manage to get some double champ hits with it in 2v2 skirmishes and team fights. Increasing W's damage passive is nice, but you don't really gain that much since the extra attack speed is better mid game when you'd start speccing it as a secondary ability anyway, and the anti healing benefit is the same with 1 or 5 points. And the ol Flash-Double Up-Bounce Off Minion Onto F
I only saw your guys first game against that evil Fiddlesticks killing... everyone. How'd the rest of the games go? Just a couple of comments/questions. McShane: He had a hard time in his matchup, but I think he kinda got thrown to the wolves. I hate Morgana, even my beloved Urgot doesn't really counter her mid... Maybe ban her next time? Pacov: Did a good job top. What was the Trinity on WW for though? The Dude II: MF's W
No changes went through on his rake's mana cost unfortunately, he only got his armor buff. You guys playing tonight still? I was going to spy on yah to figure out how to beat you guys if we ever can get NiCA up and running. Kidding of course... but not really. Anyway, here's some things to remember that should bring you success in your ranked games: The lord loves a working man, always buy wards, and don't trust whitey!
@Krdax KD ratio... can be an overrated stat if you ask me. Had a game the other day with Hedgie and another pal where I was support for a decent Kog. By the end of the game he was carrying us to a win but with a hell of an attitude. Talking about how he was the only one with a positive KD ratio which made him the best player and all that good stuff. Maybe he was, I don't know... just didn't sit well when I was thinking to myself about that time we pushed too f
Pacov: " 3 seconds before lock, our jungler switches to janna. So we have no jungler... which means I'm bot with lulu vs a soraka and some ranged ad carry. So, with no threat of ganks, they can just do their own thing bot and I will never have a chance to roam really. We have a tf, but he's only interested in ulting to help his pal - so its essentially me and cheesy in this crap situation with no assistance for like 20 min." I find it ironic
Hedgie and I have a group we hook up with to play a 5 man premade every once in a while... problem is they aren't that into competitive pregame strategizing even though one is a really good ranked player. Only time we talked about roles before going into queue was to agree to all play AD. Jungle Cait, Top Tris, Midgot, Vayne and Support Ashe bottom. Our support Ashe dropped fairly early but we still won... not sure if it was cause my teammates were better than our opponent
Oh man Pacov... your example reminds me of this poor Zilean on an opposing team. Three of the opponent put the loss squarely on his shoulders because he had 26 CS at the end of the game and had supposedly stolen way too much CS from his carry. My opinion was he should have taken it all considering how bad his laning partner was.
@Pacov: Was watching your stream and I'd suggest you get rid of that bar that blocks the screen between your minimap and UI stuff. Its not a huge deal, but it just seems like every little bit helps and giving yourself a little more sight by removing that wall and minimizing the UI a little is helpful, at least for me. I'm not sure I agree with your picking philosophy cause there's nothing I hate more than getting in a game and watching our number one pick grab an easily ha
